Hi Bill,
Great site and photo's. I hope that you can help me with a project. My Great Greatgrandfather, Conductor Edwin Keyser was killed as a result of a head on between Engines 3608 and 3012 on November 5, 1926 in Millersburg, Pa. I have a copy of the DOT Report on the incident, File number 1306, dated January 18, 1927. Can you provide me with photographs of Engine 3608, Engine 3012, the Millersburg yard, JN Block Station, and news accounts and or accident photos , if available. Thankyou. Ed

Hi David!
I came from a long line of railroaders. My Grandfather Norton Keyser retired from the PA RR in 1964 after 49 years. He was a Conductor. My Graet Grandfather was a Conductor on the PA RR and died as a result of a Head end collision at Millersburg in 1926. He died as a result of his injuries in 1928. My Great Great Grandfather Frank Keyser was a watchman. Thaats all I know about his tenure on the RR. I have evidence that some previous ancestors were instrumental in the startup of the Rail system in PA.

You have a great website and resource of information. I am beginning the restoration of a model passenger car I believe to be the PPR 'Poor Richard Club' parlor car. Do you have a photo of this car? I have a small xerox version of the Pullman builder's photo. Would you also know if this car was delivered in Pullman Green or PRR Tuscan Red?

BOILERPLATE9 says...Great updates. Looking for any and all photos of #6200 S2 steam turbine locomotive esp. in color,.also any films or videos of the same. Any sound recordings of this loco?

Hi, I presume you already have my collection of builders photos, E.14916, 17, 18, 20 and E.15585. I also have five (5) photos of the S2 180P85 tender plus S2 on the Crestline Turntable and S2 with RR Officials oblique view. Thanks.

hello there bill a first class sight many thanks for sending me a photo of the turbine loco built in the war years a great website of yours although i live in the uk and a fan of this once great railway

I own a building immediately across the street from the old Little Miami Railroad / PRR depot in South Lebanon, OH. I'm trying to find photos showing the rear of my property (then known first as the River View Hotel, then later (around 1900) as Rapp's Store and Delivery service.

Even a shot showing the north side of the depot might be really helpful.

I'm needing photos to resolve a boundary question. I do hope you can help.

Bill- MTH is coming out with models of the PRR H10's this summer. The Road numbers that they have announced are : PRR #7103, 7099, 7122, and Long Island # 103, & 107. BLI is also coming out with a H10 loco this summer. Their version will have a "Lines West" tender with a "Crawford" hood over the coal area. The Road numbers they are producing are : PRR # 8022, #8304, #8421, & #9915. If you have images of any of these locomotives, you may want to put them in the "Request Galleries". Perhaps a few modellers will want to buy some images from you! I've spent some time looking through your online galleries tonight, but alas I'm out of time. Thank you Bill for your wonderful website!

Hello, I am wondering if anyone on here could tell me where I could find an "O" gauge Penn Tender from the S2 Turbine Locomotive? My father received the S2 model back in 1940 as a Christmas gift. However the Tender that came with it was not the original Pennsylvania Tender. He often speaks about how nice it would be to have the proper Tender for it and I was just wondering if anyone out there has one for sale without having to buy the locomotive with it. If anyone has one that they want to sell please contact me at [email protected] thank you for your time.

Howdy! You're site is great. Content is top notch. But let's talk about the smooth jazz. Webpages stopped autoplaying music in the 90's because it was a novelty then and is now a nuance. Here are my problems with the music.
1. The button to turn it off is at the bottom of each page. That means I have to stop what I am doing, scroll all the way down, turn it off, and scroll back up to there I was.
2. Currently, the button is not displaying so I have no choice to listen to it. If Flash or Java or what ever is powering this, it isn't working for me. If it isn't working for me, chances are it's not working for a lot of people.
3. When I open multiple browser tabs to be more efficient, each new tab plays more music. Super annoying. I then have to go back to the bottom of each page and click the buttons all over again (when the stop button actually works).
4. I would rather listen to actual jazz recordings I already have playing in the background and not low quality MIDI recordings of what sounds like elevator music from hell.
5. Computers are media centers. I'm watching Netflix on one screen, and surfing your site on the other. The music interrupts my shows.

Thanks for reading this. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just constructive.
